Hmmm... I guess add a limit if a carrier is the role/class, but that would just add more numbers. Forget that idea then.

“Good afternoon, my name is Vaulkhar and I’m here representing Sernpidal Shipping. I have an urgent matter to discuss directly with the Ambassador. I’m willing to wait for as long as is necessary, can you let him know I’m here?”
Vaulkhar slide his business card across the desk with his index and middle finger. He had already identified an area he could sit down if he needed to wait. He hoped that the Ambassador here had knowledge of the business relationship that Sernpidal Shipping had with the First Order. If not, he would probably be in for a long wait and a rude dismissal.
A series of secretaries lined one side of the wall within the lobby of the Embassy. This immense building had several staircases that attached to this pristine entrance and two turbolifts that took personnel, approved and staff members, to the upper levels. Several Stormtroopers walked and stood within the lobby, keeping an eye out on things. The secretary that Vaulkhar approached was a young male, possibly late twenties. The male takes the business card and runs it through their system quietly. A few keys here and there before the unnamed male looks up at the visitor.=Lobby Secretary= You have been approved to meet with Ambassador Hedsard. He will meet with you on Level 4, Conference Room 2.When the male points to the respective turbolift, a pair of Stormtroopers approach Vaulkhar and tell him to follow them. Once on the turbolift, the representative of the Shipping company was taken to the respective floor and, from there, to the conference room where the Baron Hedsard stood with two aides at his side. Another pair of Stormtroopers stood behind the trio. The Baron approaches Vaulkhar, aware of who this man represented. His position allowed him freedom to learn of... certain persons that would use the Oasis for businesses of a varying degree.=Baron Garvyn Hedsard= Representative Vaulkhar. I am rather surprised you contacted my office directly. I figured you would try to go through the more proper channels to speak with an official from the Empire itself and not where I stand. Curious though why you came considering the... business you have with the First Order.

I am feeling that I may be in a camp that is against of using more points to expand starfighter range. Reading what you have said, from the two of you, is sort of complicating my mind a tad. I feel it should be simpler such as if a ship is labeled as a carrier, it should have the greater range of starfighter capacity. But that's just me. The system is meant to be as a clean and simple as possible after all. To add these new point suggestions would likely require going through all the submissions again as people may wanna change stuff that is submitted.

Nicademus could tell the looks on people's faces. He did not need the Force to sense their thoughts nor their emotions. There was a clear divide between those who approved of the immense weapon carried on the underbelly of the Xyston, but there were those who did not approve it. The Emperor glances in the direction of the Grand Marshal Zahn, the only one either brave or foolish enough to question his decision on the matter involving the Xyston's main armament and approving its production as a prototype.
It all depends on how it is wielded, Grand Marshal. The Old Empire adhered to that Doctrine of Fear, the usage of force to make worlds be compliant and obedient to the central authority that was the Emperor and his vision for the galaxy. True, such weapons do not inspire a great deal of law and order... but we were not built to rely upon those weapons.
The Neo-Imperialism, founded by the Emperor, was far more focused on utilizing propaganda and promoting the virtues of Imperialism upon the populace, creating order through obedience which was nurtured through this indoctrination. Still, this was an advancement of technology and the First Order was all about that very same progression. Slowly, his gaze turned away and looked at all gathered.
The Imperial Knights once feared that the Dark Side could corrupt me... and perhaps they still do. I believe the sentiment is the same here. You fear that I may be turning to the ideals and principles of the Old Empire. That I may be falling for the seduction of powerful weapons, devastators of worlds, harbringers of complete and utter destruction. You fear that I could change who I am and use this weapon without impunity.
The Emperor slowly leans back in his chair, folding his hands together.
This weapon will not be used to force planets to obey. It will not be used to destroy rebellious worlds. We have sought the preservation of worlds so that they may be of use to this nation. It exists, nonetheless, as a powerful weapon that can used on fleets of enemy ships. And its testing will yield results for future technologies. After all, this is a different kind of superlaser, a pulsating one from what my researchers have told me.
Nicademus turns back to Thomas Zahn afterward.
This weapon will not used to breed law and order, Grand Marshal. It will be used to pierce the defense of our foes and ensure that fear is ever present in their hearts. It will put them on their guard and, certainly, make them think twice. It is a deterrent, but also a weapon. But not a means to ensure order and law as our ancestors once believed. Does this satisfy your answer?
Slowly, he turns to the rest present.
Does this satisfy all of you?

I believe 2 to 4 works fine for a vessel of that size. The Interdictor-class SD has 4 and its 200 meters smaller.

No no, now that you answered my question, I can see why it would be made a 3. If anyone else disagrees, I would like to hear.
Otherwise, it has my approval!

You put the defense of this shuttle at 3, but I am not sure if it warrants it. I asked if you gave it a 3 due to its role as a combat shuttle, thus the heightened defense stat.

Is the defense of 3 meant to be for its role as a combat shuttle?

The improved armament from the ARC-170 does ensure a 4 for this. Good work, Marcus!
